Sans Superellipse Igfi 3 is a very bold, normal width, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Monterra' by ActiveSphere; 'Director', 'Director Bengali', 'Director Gujarati', 'Director Malayalam', and 'Director Tamil' by Indian Type Foundry; and 'Naghashian' by Naghi Naghachian (names referenced only for comparison).

A dense, heavy sans with a squared, superelliptical construction: counters and outer curves read as rounded rectangles rather than circles. Strokes are consistently thick with blunt terminals and softened corners, producing a compact silhouette and strong color on the page. Openings are relatively tight and the bowls and shoulders are boxy, while diagonals (such as in K, V, W, X, Y) are broad and stable. Lowercase forms keep a pragmatic, built-up feel with sturdy stems, short extenders, and simple, squared details; numerals follow the same blocky geometry for a uniform set.
Best suited for display work that needs maximum impact: headlines, posters, and bold brand marks, especially in sports and industrial-themed identities. It also works well for short bursts of copy on packaging, labels, and signage where a compact, high-contrast-to-background block of text is desirable.
The overall tone is loud, forceful, and utilitarian—more “stamped” than “written.” Its squared rounding and tight rhythm evoke sports graphics, industrial labeling, and contemporary display typography where impact and solidity are prioritized over delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, robust display voice built from rounded-rectangular geometry. By combining squared forms with softened corners and tight internal spaces, it aims for strong legibility at large sizes and a distinctive, industrial-sport character.
The face maintains a consistent rounded-corner logic across straight and curved strokes, giving it a cohesive, engineered look. At larger sizes it reads clean and confident; in denser settings the tight apertures and heavy weight emphasize mass and presence over fine differentiation.
